Method of manufacture for panels usable as Tile backsplashes in showers or kitchen areas, to provide the surface with a desired appearance, durability, as well as water and air resistance. The proposed product of the method creates a belly splash panel specifically formed from a composite of epoxy and glass.

The present invention provides a system, method, and apparatus for producing a dimensionally stable extruded board product for use in surface coverings. The board product may be a basalt casting powder-based product for use as a substrate for wall or other surface coverings or may be used as a core layer in a modular floor covering unit. The modular floor covering unit comprises multiple layers. The layers are a thin cut stone veneer layer, a core layer with a density similar to that of the thin cut stone veneer layer, and an optional magnetically receptive underlayment layer. Other layers or combinations of layers may also be used.

The invention relates to a device for adhering brick slips to a panel, which device comprises: a horizontal transport surface with an infeed side and an outfeed side for transporting the panel from the infeed side, over the transport surface and to the outfeed side; a buffer arranged adjacently of the transport surface for buffering at least one row of brick slips; dispensing means for dispensing a layer of adhesive onto the panel; and engaging means displaceable between a position above the buffer and a position above the transport surface for picking up from the buffer the at least one row of brick slips and placing the row of brick slips on the panel.

The disclosure is directed to thermal and moisture insulated interlocking brick comprising natural, in-situ carved stone faade coupled to a backing layer comprised of a massive and lightweight portions, as well as methods of forming the brick and methods for cladding and using the bricks in load bearing walls and in non-load-bearing walls (light construction).

The present disclosure relates to a floor panel, comprising a laminate of a core layer, comprising a ceramic or mineral material and a binder a first pair of opposite edges, said first pair of opposite edges comprising complementary coupling parts allowing to mutually couple of plurality of floor panels to each other, a top layer, comprising a ceramic material or a natural stone, wherein the side of the core layer facing the top layer comprises a reinforcement layer, locally having a higher density than the density of the rest of the core layer.

A panel for a thin brick system comprises repeating and aligned peaks and valleys, with individual ledges associated with each valley, with at least a portion of each ledge protruding above an adjacent peak to provide a surface to support a product, such as a thin brick on the peaks of the panel.

The present invention provides a composite board and the method for producing it, wherein the composite board includes a base material layer constituting the core part of the composite board; a wear layer covering and fixed on the base material layer; a substrate layer which is fixed on the other side of the base material layer opposite to the wear layer; and the first binding layer which is bound between the base material layer and the wear layer, wherein the base material layer further includes fixings on its both sides, and when at least two composite boards are connected together, the fixings can be coupled with each other to relatively fix the composite boards. The aforementioned method and techniques can enable composite boards to be as rigid and wear-resistant as a tile and moreover, can reduce the time and labor costs required for the installation of the tiles by applying the base material layer in the installation of composite boards.

The invention relates to a device for adhering brick slips to a panel, which device comprises: a horizontal transport surface with an infeed side and an outfeed side for transporting the panel from the infeed side, over the transport surface and to the outfeed side; a buffer arranged adjacently of the transport surface for buffering at least one row of brick slips; dispensing means for dispensing a layer of adhesive onto the panel; and engaging means displaceable between a position above the buffer and a position above the transport surface for picking up from the buffer the at least one row of brick slips and placing the row of brick slips on the panel.

An apparatus including a computer processor; a first tool device; a first device configured to hold the first tool device; and a second device configured to move the first tool device in x, y, and z directions, when the first tool device is being held by the first device, in response to commands from the computer processor; and a conveyor device having a belt. The first tool device may include a wheel. The first device may be configured with respect to the conveyor device, so that the wheel of the first tool device is configured to be lowered in the z direction into a material located on the belt of the conveyor device, and the first tool device is configured to be moved in the x and y direction, with the wheel simultaneously rotating and rolling through the material on the belt, in response to commands from the computer processor.

The slab support includes a first panel sized to selectively attach to a relatively delicate slab, whereby at least one side of the first panel is non-linear. A second panel of the slab support is sized to selectively attach to the relatively delicate slab simultaneously with the first panel, whereby a non-linear side of the second panel is positionable relative to the non-linear side of the first panel for keyed engagement therewith when the first panel and the second panel selectively couple to the delicate slab to provide reinforcement thereto.
